The main aim of this paper is to study the functional inequality \begin{equation*} \int_{[0,1]}f\bigl((1-t)x+ty\bigr)d\mu(t)\geq 0, \qquad x,y\in I \mbox{ with } x<y, \end{equation*} for a continuous unknown function $f:I\to{\mathbb R}$,…

It is shown that a function $f$ is a generalized Stieltjes function of order $\lambda>0$ if and only if $x^{1-\lambda}(x^{\lambda-1+k}f(x))^{(k)}$ is completely monotonic for all $k\geq 0$, thereby complementing a result due to Sokal.…

Let $F_{BC}(\lambda,k;t)$ be the Heckman-Opdam hypergeometric function of type BC with multiplicities $k=(k_1,k_2,k_3)$ and weighted half sum $\rho(k)$ of positive roots. We prove that $F_{BC}(\lambda+\rho(k),k;t)$ converges for…

Representation theorems relate seemingly complex objects to concrete, more tractable ones. In this paper, we take advantage of the abstraction power of category theory and provide a general representation theorem for a wide class of…

Functional data often arise from measurements on fine time grids and are obtained by separating an almost continuous time record into natural consecutive intervals, for example, days. The functions thus obtained form a functional time…

This is a tutorial introduction to the functional analysis mathematics needed in many physical problems, such as in waves in continuous media. Functional analysis takes us beyond finite matrices, allowing us to work with infinite sets of…

Let $(X,\mathcal{B}, \mu, T)$ be an ergodic dynamical system on a non-atomic finite measure space. Consider the maximal function $\dis R^*:(f, g) \in L^1\times L^1 \to R^*(f, g)(x) = \sup_{n} \frac{f(T^nx)g(T^{2n}x)}{n}.$ We show that there…

If $G$ is a locally compact groupoid with a Haar system $\lambda$, then a positive definite function $p$ on $G$ has a form $p(x)=< L(x)\xi(d(x)),\xi(r(x))>$, where $L$ is a representation of $G$ on a Hilbert bundle ${\h}=(G^0,\{H_u\},\mu)$,…

Let $\lambda$ be an uncountable cardinal such that $2^{< \lambda } = \lambda$. Working in the setup of generalized descriptive set theory, we study the structure of $\lambda^+$-Borel measurable functions with respect to various kinds of…

For $1\le t < \infty$, a compact subset $K\subset\mathbb C$, and a finite positive measure $\mu$ supported on $K$, $R^t(K, \mu)$ denotes the closure in $L^t(\mu)$ of rational functions with poles off $K$. Let $\text{abpe}(R^t(K, \mu))$…

Let $X$ be a Polish space. We prove that the generic compact set $K\subseteq X$ (in the sense of Baire category) is either finite or there is a continuous gauge function $h$ such that $0<\mathcal{H}^{h}(K)<\infty$, where $\mathcal{H}^h$…

Using the kinematic constraints of classical bodies we construct the allowable wavefunctions corresponding to classical solids. These are shown to be long lived metastable states that are qualitatively far from eigenstates of the true…

Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a field and $f : \mathfrak{S}_n \rightarrow \mathbb{F} \setminus \{0\}$ be an arbitrary map. The Schur matrix functional associated to $f$ is defined as $M \in \text{M}_n(\mathbb{F}) \mapsto…

We prove an upper bound for the twelfth moment of Hecke $L$-functions associated to holomorphic Hecke cusp forms of weight $k$ in a dyadic interval $T \leq k \leq 2T$ as $T$ tends to infinity. This bound recovers the Weyl-strength subconvex…

In this paper, we show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between operator monotone functions on the nonnegative reals and finite Borel measures on the unit interval. This correspondence appears as an integral representation of…

This paper systematically studies the subset of continuous linear functionals on the projective tensor product of Banach spaces whose norms are bounded by Grothendieck's constant $K_G$. We term such functionals Grothendieck functional…
